Jason Martinez - San Diego, CA
MLBDepthCharts was created to help readers keep up with the roster activity of each and every major league baseball organization. I'm hoping that this site can be a valuable resource for all baseball fans. My goal is to always offer accurate, educated, and up-to-the-minute roster projections. Click HERE for info on how I determine the projections. I'd appreciate any tips from readers on something I may have missed or just a comment on why you may have a difference of opinion. If you can offer a valid argument against one of my projections, I will be more than happy to make a change.Since I was a kid, I've always maintained some form of roster tracking as I'm doing here. Now I'm just sharing my notes with you in a much more organized and easier-to-read format. I operate the site from my hometown of San Diego, CA, where I live with my two kids. And yes, I am an insanely passionate Padre fan. I have been since my grandfather introduced me to this great game when I was about 5 years old.
In July 2011, MLBDepthCharts was named to SI.com's inaugural Twitter 100, a list honoring the most essential twitter feeds in the sports world. The site has also received Twitter shout-outs from ESPN's Baseball Tonight Host Steve Berthiaume, ESPN's Senior Fantasy Analyst Matthew Berry, Baseball Prospectus writer John Perotto, former Dodgers GM Dan Evans, and Hall of Fame baseball reporter Peter Gammons. In addition, the site has been referenced in numerous articles on websites that include FanGraphs, Baseball-Reference, Grantland, and Sports Illustrated's February 28, 2011 cover story titled 'Brave New World'.
Hope you enjoy!

The transactions column says Rasmus agreed to a deal w/STL.
Thanks for catching that!
Jason - is there any way I can get a link from your site? I've mentioned MLBdepthcharts and provided a link to your site within the post that introduced MORPS projections for 2012.

Thanks Obie. Contact me at mlbdepthcharts@gmail.com. I have an idea for some great promotion to the MORPS projections. Just want to get some more info.
Is there any chance you guys would consider putting up projected batting orders against both LHP and RHP
Possibly on the website, but MLBDepthCharts Magazine will have a Lineup Edition in a few weeks with projected vs RHP and LHP and 2011 splits.
Jason,
I've recently noticed you have player pages (other sites) on each player...I'm not sure if you are aware but there is a great site you aren't including that has college stats on players bios. It's thebaseballcube.com....
For example:
http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=Matt-LaPorta
I find it quite interesting to look at when looking at prospects drafted out of college.
Perhaps you might start adding it to player's pages?
It's a good point but it would take forever to start adding that to the 500 or so players I've created pages for. I'm hoping to re-design the website soon. That would allow me to display stats so buying a database with ncaa stats is a possibility.
Is there a possibility that you can create a page with all of the players who are to start the season ont he DL?
This way if there are updates to the list we can be notified?
Hey Ketih. I have an Injury report in MLBDC Magazine that is updated regularly. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll add one to the site.
Jason, Is there a way that you can highlite the team page when you make changes. I noticed you recently made a change on the Cubs page...I wouldn't have noticed it hadn't I been looking at numerous pages...as much as I enjoy the site I don't want to have to spend 20 minutes of my day looking for updated projections.
That's a long-term goal. I'm not doing it now because the pages would be too cluttered and things are happening so quickly over the next few weeks, I'm trying to cut out as many steps as possible.
Unless it's a minor move like Chris Rusin being reassigned to minor league camp, I will either have it in the sidebar if it's a transaction or the twitter feed if it's any other type of projection change.

In a lot of cases, this takes you though my thought process. You can see last night where I mentioned the Cubs bench changes and the link to how I came to that decision.
Like I said, it's in the future plans to have something on the page that shows any changes. Thanks!
Just wanted to drop a note and tell you how great your service is. I have used other services in past years, but I am the most prepared for my upcoming drafts than I ever have been in the past. In addition, I admire how you were able to cater to a specific request I had immediately. Keep up the good work! I am a loyal customer going forward.
Jason and contributors, Your site is the best: outstanding service to those of us in deep leagues. i wanted to get you some money by buying the magazine but have been getting error messages.
Thanks Nick! That's great to hear. Customer service is the top priority here, along with keeping the rosters updated.
Hi Andrew. Sorry about that. One other person recently contacted me due to an error message from the 'pay now' button. Not sure why that's happening in these cases. Send me an email and I can give you another option to pay. mlbdepthcharts@gmail.com
For transactions, you've got Zumaya being released by Detroit.
Love your site. When do we get AL West, NL West, NL Central minors?
Thanks Jay! Can't promise anything but I'm hoping to have them done by Friday, at the latest.
Can you show an example of the spreadsheet for the subscribers?....maybe show one that was used at the beginning of season so we can see the final product. thx
I'll post some more recent samples in the near future but here's a pretty good idea from last offseason ...
